We stayed three nights in Lorna and Wayne's peaceful, cozy cottage on a beautiful property. It was wonderful to come back to the cottage after long days of work to a comfortable bed and great countryside views. The cottage is well designed, and we appreciated the personal touch from the hosts. Lorna supplied great local coffee -- a must -- and the home-made breakfasts prepared by Wayne in the morning were absolutely to die for! Wayne and Lorna are amazing hosts.

I would not hesitate to return to this beautiful cottage and would recommend it to anyone who is travelling in the area.

Glad you were pleased with your stay. To be clear for future guests, we don't normally provide breakfast. The Cottage in Hills is self-catering with a full kitchen amply supplied with all dishes and appliances you'll need to make your own meals. This guest is a colleague of my husband's so he provided some breakfasts at our residence but that's NOT the normal deal at The Cottage in Hills, it's not a B&B, it's a self-catering vacation rental cottage.

Cottage in Hills was the perfect destination for a romantic getaway. We loved how secluded and picturesque it was with easy access to the highway and near everything we wanted to be close to (but not too near). The cabin is very homey and comfortable and the wood burning stove made it that much cozier.

Lorna has lots of rules, but they are sensible and she is a gracious host. Sign up and enjoy a great experience at the Cottage :)

Liked least:The bed was too hard, but Lorna remedied that quickly with a foam overlay.

So glad you enjoyed your romantic getaway, Sean, we hope you'll visit us again soon. We have some rules (mainly for guests with a dog) to ensure the Cottage stays in good condition for future guests. Glad you enjoyed the wood-stove in the dining room, a cheerful, cozy spot to curl up with a book.

“Rejuvenated by this comfortable retreat in the forest near Slocan Lake.”

This tastefully furnished and fully equipped cottage provided the tranquil and comfortable retreat we were looking for. It was spotless, spacious for the two of us and perfect when our friends joined us for Thanksgiving weekend (with a bedroom on either end of the upper level). The master bedroom has a very convenient half-bath "ensuite." The hosts, Lorna & Wayne, ensured that we had everything we needed from kindling for the wood-burning fireplace to freshly picked chanterelle mushrooms (in season just now) and farm eggs. They were knowledgeable about the nearby hiking trails, parks, wildlife and mountains – all of which was important to us.

Fantastic views from this impeccably clean and well equipped cabin near the lake.The cabin was thoughtfully stocked with books, movies and games for quiet down time.The cabin is conveniently located yet feels like it is in a remote part of paradise.

Glad you enjoyed The Cottage In Hills. We hope you'll stay with us again. How about a winter getaway: cross-country or back-country skiing, soaking in the nearby hot springs, and cozy evenings by the crackling wood-stove?

Our stay at the cottage in Hills was very nice. It is a cozy,secluded cottage stocked with just about everything you need. We really enjoyed our stay especially because our family was only a 2 minute drive away or a 5 minute walk through the forest,perfect!

Staying at this place was more than PERFECT! The beautiful ceder trees, Slocan Lake and the great people made it more beautiful than I could ever imagine. Looking back now I've had the best time of my life. When I see the pictures I can't believe I've been there for a while and all I want is to go back to this place that's more beautiful than heaven can be.

Right now it's over 35 C degrees in Holland, I can't wait to have such a nice and chilly lake nearby! See you soon!

I'm touched that we made such a great impression on you and that you had the best time of your life here in Hills. This area truly is magical; that's why we live here -- clean air, clean water, soaring mountains, rich forests and a deep, cool lake. Our objective is to provide a rejuvenating vacation experience for our guests; it sounds like we did that for you.

If you want to leave the world behind and get that "peaceful, easy feeling", this is the place to be! We loved escaping our busy city lives and sitting back on the porch and enjoying the sunshine and the quiet, with the only sounds the wind moving through the trees and the songbirds flitting from branch to branch. The cottage has a wonderful rustic laid-back vibe but has all the comforts of home. This is truly a gem!Pat D.
